Halesworth & Southwold Community News August 2019 5 OBITUARIES & MEMORIAM
DR RICHARD KELL 21.05.55 – 06.07.19
IT is with great sadness that we announce the death of Richard John Alexander Kell, aged 64. He had struggled with the awful effects of Motor Neurone Disease with dignity and bravery, maintaining
his
calm demeanour and sense of humour throughout. He was a wonderful husband and father and will be greatly missed by us all.
Richard was born in
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire to a farming family. After schooling at Framlingham College, he trained in medicine at The London Hospital and worked in London, Manchester and Dubai, before settling in Halesworth as a GP. He was a GP partner for 29 years in
Halesworth
and was loved and respected by his colleagues and patients. He
campaigned for many
years to protect Halesworth’s health services, including the Patrick Stead Hospital, and had recently retired as
the chair Community
of Halesworth Nursing Care
Fund (now The Pear Tree Fund) and Halesworth Health. He dedicated a huge amount of time to these projects, both before and after retiring. He also worked as a police surgeon for 20 years and was heavily involved in training both GP trainees and medical students. Outside of work he loved

its 6th Annual

A generous grant was gratefully received from Heveningham Hall Trust towards our costs in providing our Dementia Support Worker, Alice Sparksman, seconded from

HALESWORTH AND
DISTRICT MUSEUM SUMMER in Halesworth Museum, summer holidays are upon us and families from
Halesworth and the
surrounding district, or those visiting the area, are warmly invited to visit the Museum over the coming weeks. As part of the summer in
Suffolk Museums initiative, our Museum has developed a number of family friendly activities which will engage people of all ages. For older visitors, the Museum contains a wealth of fascinating materials on local history, including a model of Halesworth in Tudor Times and a working model showing the operation of our famous moving platforms, unique in the country. We have a temporary exhibition about the work of Halesworth Urban District and later Town Council.
Learn more
about the medieval lords of the manor, the Argenteins, including information on the fascinating bresummer beam that sits over a door in the Thoroughfare.
For younger members of the family there is brass rubbing and 'feely' bags (can you guess the mystery object inside?). They can handle the fossils in our handling tray and make their own model ammonite to take home. We also have a 'Woodwose Trail'.
Woodwoses were medieval figures of myth

completed the Woodwose Trail in the Museum, why not follow the Town Trail through the Thoroughfare to visit the woodwose carved around the font
in St Mary's Church?
These fascinating carvings are a feature of several Suffolk churches, and St Mary's Church houses a particularly fine example. Another trail, the Malt Heritage Trail, takes you through the town and the town park and includes a visit to the Malt Experience at the Cut Arts Centre, a few hundred yards from the Museum. This exhibition, which is free of charge, provides an opportunity to get the feel of what it must have been like to work in a traditional maltings. There are lots things to do and see in the Museum this summer, so do pop along to visit us. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 12.30pm and Wednesday afternoon 2pm-4pm and free.

He also told us about door to door safety and the checks we should make before letting strangers into our homes. We

Appointment of trustees Halesworth Day Centre
IT has been a busy, but nice, time at the Day Centre for everyone but especially for our cook, Glenda. We thank her for that lovely tea she provided to thank everyone who has helped us over the year.
